Jan 22 - 012 Smile.Communications (NASDAQ Global Market and
TASE: SMLC), a growth-oriented provider of communication
services in Israel, today announced that Israel’s Ministry of
Communications has granted it a five-year license to provide
endpoint network services at its customers’ premises.
The license will allow the Company to supply, install,
operate and maintain all types of endpoint network equipment,
including central switchboards, telephone cables, connection
closets, etc.
As such, the license will enable the Company to
provide compete, end-to-end communications solutions.
“We are excited to receive this strategic license, which
rounds out the range of our services that we can offer our
Enterprise customers,” said Ms. Stella Hendler, President and
CEO of 012 Smile.Communications.
“Over the past few years, business integration services have
accounted for a growing part of our revenues, but were marketed
separately from our telephony, Internet access and other
services. Now, we will be able to offer a complete,
end-to-end communications package, beginning with system
planning and installation, all the way to the provision of
sophisticated next-generation voice and data services.”
The endpoint network license will allow 012
Smile.Communications to expand its on-site installation services
beyond the deployment of cables for telephony-over-VOB or PRI to
include central controllers, switchboards (PBXs), connection
closets and other endpoint equipment.
Before receiving the license, the Company was able only to
provide hosted PBX services (IP-Centrex/virtual PBX), and to
facilitate the connection of the hosted lines to PBXs.
This license will enable the Company to offer a full
end-to-end solution including both telephony infrastructure and
advanced telephony/Internet services.
